TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Thank you for your continued support of Mitsubishi Graphic Operation Terminal (GOT).
We released the GOT2000 series with high functions and performance as an alternative of the GOT-A900 series
in September 2013. We highly recommend that you replace the GOT-A900 series with the GOT2000 series for
using new sophisticated features.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN
1. Requests for customers
We released the GOT2000 series with high functions and performance as an alternative of the GOT-A900
series in September 2013. We highly recommend that you replace the GOT-A900 series with the GOT2000
series for using new sophisticated features.
For the replacement models, refer to "Table 2-1 Recommended replacement GOT models of the GOT2000
series" in Chapter 2 below.
2. Replacement models
"Table 2-1 Recommended replacement GOT models of the GOT2000 series" introduces recommended
models that have no or less restrictions in terms of the specifications on their replacement with the GOT2000
series. Other models can be selected depending on the usage status in your system. Select an appropriate
model after carefully considering the range of performance in the current system.
For the precautions on the replacement, refer to each chapter and section.
2.1 GOT
When you replace the GOT-A900 series with the GOT2000 series, some GOTs require the change of the panel
cutting dimensions. If you have difficulty to change the panel cutting dimensions, use the attachment.
When you use the GOT2000 series, the drawing software differs.

*1 Production of all the GOT-A900 series models was discontinued.
*2 This model has a white front panel. For the difference in the specifications between the white-panel model and standard model (black panel), refer to Section 3.1.1 (3).
*3 The display color is replaced with 65536 colors since the GOT2000 series does not support 256, 16, 8, 2 (black/yellow orange), and 2 (monochrome) colors. Note that the price range differs. For the details, refer to the GOT2000 series catalog (L(NA)08274ENG).
*4 No models for replacement are prepared.
*5 The Sound output function is an option for the GOT2000 series. When using the sound output function of the GOT-A900 series, use the sound output unit (GT15-SOUT) of the GOT2000 series separately.
*6 The RGB output function is an option for the GOT2000 series. When using the RGB output function of the GOT-A900 series, use the RGB output unit (GT27-ROUT-Z) of the GOT2000 series separately.
*7 To use the printer function with the GOT2000 series, two methods are provided. When using a serial printer, use the built-in RS-232 interface.
When using a PictBridge-compatible printer, prepare the printer unit (GT15-PRN). *8 The GOT2000 series has no RUN/OUTPUT terminal in the power supply section.
When using the RUN/OUTPUT terminal in the power supply section of the GOT-A900 series, consider using the RUN output of the external I/O unit (GT15-DIO or GT15-DIOR). For the details of the external I/O unit, refer to the following.

2.2 Communication
2.2.1 A bus connection
No further orders for all the models of the A bus connection unit will be accepted in and after January 2015, and
the production will be discontinued in and after February 2015. When the GOT-A900 series is connected by the
A bus connection, the connection type must be changed or the PLC must be replaced.
To replace the PLC, refer to the following Technical Bulletin.
➟
Production discontinuation of MELSEC-AnS/QnAS (small type) series and MELSEC-I/OLINK
(FA-A-0142)
Production discontinuation of MELSEC-A/QnA (large type) series (T99-0050)
To change the A bus connection to another connection type, refer
to the following.

■
1. Settings of the GOT and PLC
When changing the connection type, check the settings of the PLC and GOT.
(1) PLC
When the GOT connected by the bus connection is removed or a communication unit is added to the PLC, the
PLC may require new settings. According to the PLC configuration, check the parameter setting (including I/O
assignment) and I/O numbers in the sequence program.
(2) GOT
Change the controller setting. *1
When changing the connection type to the network connection (excluding the Ethernet connection), set the
network number and station number in the device number of each object. *2

(2) Replacing GOT when using multiple units of bus connection
When multiple GOT-A900 series are connected with the bus connection, one or more GOT-A900 series can be
replaced with the GOT2000 series by replacing all the bus connection cables with the GOT2000 series cables
or by attaching ferrite cores (listed in Section 2.6.1 (1)) to the GOT-A900 series cables. Therefore, the
GOT-A900 series and the GOT2000 series can exist in the same system.
